I know it's early, but I think we should respectfully ask the MTP producers not to include Carville, Matalin or any other panelists who have stated alliances to one of the campaigns on their Jan 6 panel. There is no way that Shrum, for example, or any other general Democratic consultant/advisor can effectively counterbalance Carville/Matalin, esp if Hillary loses in the caucuses.
We cannot eliminate all Clinton bias since most in the media do seem to be aligned with her, but there is no reason for them to put people on the panel who have publicly stated their support for her or any other candidate, whether it's Clinton, Obama or Edwards.
